Sensing Optimization in Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks

چکیده
Cooperative spectrum sensing is a key function in cognitive radio networks in order to provide unused spectrum access opportunities and mitigate the impact of interference to the primary networks. Cooperative sensing can incur additional cooperation overhead, increased energy consumption, extra sensing time and delay in heterogeneous networks. In this paper, the sensing time period is optimized to minimize energy consumption in a diverse cooperative network using square law combining decision rule. The evaluation results confirm significant improvement in the sensing time and sensing task energy consumption. © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Attack-Aware Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks under Byzantine Attack
Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) is an effective approach to overcome the impact of multi-path fading and shadowing issues. The reliability of CSS can be severely degraded under Byzantine attack, which may be caused by either malfunctioning sensing terminals or malicious nodes. Almost, the previous studies have not analyzed and considered the attack in their models. The present study introduc...

متن کاملEnergy-Efficient Method for Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks
Energy detection is one of the popular spectrum sensing technique for cognitive radio. Better performance can be obtained by cooperative detection, but only when cognitive radios did not have different geographic locations and channel environment. To avoid this drawback, the paper presents an improved energy-based weighted cooperative spectrum sensing method which allows to achieve higher detec...
